Applicant challenged the agency decision on three grounds, including the agency's failure to consider ecologically sustainable development (ESD) principles in approving the concept plan under the Envrionmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The court held that the agency had considered ESD principles and greenhouse gas emissions when approving the project.
